Chapter 10: Marriage by Order (I)
Although it is late at night, it is the capital after all, and it is still brightly lit. In the night sky, there is a faint fluttering music.
In the midst of this dim light, there was a lively and brilliant place, at this time the carriage was surging, and there was a case at the door, and behind the case sat the bookkeeper who received the congratulatory gifts from all walks of life; There was also a master of ceremonies standing next to him.
This is the residence of General Jin who just welcomed the plaque of "Golden Jade Liangyuan" today.
Jin Yuan Bao glanced at the bustling crowd, frowned dissatisfiedly, dusted off the corners of his clothes casually, raised his head, and walked straight towards the main hall as if no one was around.
"Yuanbao, you're back! Madame has been waiting for you in the main hall! β
Hearing this familiar voice, Jin Yuan Bao looked at the other party very dissatisfied, "Are you teaching me as the chief housekeeper of the Jin Mansion or my cousin?" β
The person who came was Liu Wenzhao, the housekeeper of the Jin Mansion, who was holding a newly made groom's dress to greet him at this time, obviously coming to him on purpose.
Hearing the words of the gold ingot, which was full of gunpowder, Liu Wenzhao's smile, which was already squeezed out by force, instantly froze on his face. He took a deep breath, slowly lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows, and said with a humble expression: "Wen Zhao doesn't dare." β
Seeing his hypocritical appearance, Jin Yuan rolled his eyes in displeasure, and did not stop, asking as he walked, "What are you looking for me?" β
"The dress you are going to wear at tomorrow's wedding ceremony is ready and delivered, and Madame says let you try it, and if there are any changes, you can let the weaver repair it overnight."
"Hehe......" Jin Yuan Bao sneered: "When it comes to marriage, it seems that everyone is more anxious than me. Show me. β
Liu Wenzhao hurriedly handed over the dress and said, "This is the best cloth I bought when I visited the capital, and I asked the senior master of the Ouchi Fashion Service Bureau to sew it by handββ"
His fingers slid over the collar of his clothes, and the sneer between Jin Yuanbao's lips deepened: "Are you sure this is the best material?" β
Liu Wenzhao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes!" It is a small family that has been looking for cloth in the capital. β
"Really?" Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you buy Yunjin for Lu?" β
"Yunjin?" Liu Yunzhao looked at him blankly.
"Cloud brocade is made of gold thread, silver thread, copper wire and filament, silk silk, all kinds of birds and beast feathers interwoven and woven, a brocade of less than one meter, there are 14,000 silk threads on its weaving surface, the composition of all flower patterns will be shuttled on this fourteen thousand threads, from the warp and weft of the established silk thread to the most cowardly weaving, beautiful and ingenious." Jin Yuan Bao said slowly, and looked at Liu Yunzhao with a smile and said, "Do you think that Yunjin is more suitable for my wedding dress than the material you bought?" β
Liu Wenzhao hurriedly paused, and a thin cold sweat escaped from the corners of his forehead: "This ...... This time is in a hurry, and it is too late to prepare for the order. β
"Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha!" Jin Yuan Bao looked up to the sky and smiled, but this laughter was a little sad, "Don't you all wish that this was the biggest grand ceremony in the Golden Mansion, and that the Emperor Grace and Glory Sect would be honored?" If you want to do it, make the best and most expensive, so that everyone will envy the glory of the Jinjiang marriage, otherwise it will humiliate the lintel of my Jinfu? Too late to prepare? You, the chief butler of the General's Mansion, are not afraid of being laughed at when you say it? With that, he strode away.
Liu Wenzhao stopped in place, bent down resignedly, and said respectfully towards the figure of the gold ingot: "The young master taught a lesson!" But his hands, which were hidden under the wedding clothes, were clenched into fists tightly at the moment, and his nails seemed to be embedded in the flesh.
Looking at the brightly lit main hall of the Golden Mansion from afar, Jin Yuan felt that his steps were extremely heavy at this time, and the speed of walking slowed down slowly.
Slowly...... Slowly......
He walked to the front of the main hall and saw the "Golden Jade Relationship" imperial plaque hanging in the middle of the hall. My heart sank, and I just wanted to pull my legs and leave......
But under the plaque, there was a lonely figure. His heart softened in an instant.
Obviously he was standing so far away, but he clearly saw the white hair on her sideburns, and seemed to hear her sigh.
The gold ingot stood still at the door, restrained the cynical expression just now, and walked forward and knelt down with a rigorous and obedient step.
"Hello to my mother, child."
For a long time, Mrs. Kim did not speak.
It wasn't until Liu Wenzhao also entered the main hall that Mrs. Jin spoke: "Another big case was solved today?" Her voice was not high, but she carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
The gold ingots fell to the ground and said, "The ingots don't dare." A thief has been caught, but the child suspects that there is a larger conspiracy behind the thief, and is about to follow the clues at hand to follow the clues, and the child believes-"
"That's it!" Mrs. Jin waved her hand and interrupted him impatiently, "When it comes to investigating the case, you will talk endlessly. Yuanbao, do you know what day is it today? β
"Zhilu Dao." Gold ingots do not deny it.
"Look up, do you see this plaque on it?"
"See."
"Who wrote this?"
"Be the queen mother."
Mrs. Jin saw that he had questions and answers, and she had no remorse, and she was even more depressed in her heart: "The whole door of the Jin Mansion is in front of the palace today to welcome the Queen Mother's royal pen golden plaque, why are you not here?" β
Jin Yuan Bao looked up at his mother and said firmly: "Child...... can't afford the four words 'golden and jade good fate' inscribed by the Queen Mother. β
"Why can't you afford it?" Lady Kim frowned.
Jin Yuan Bao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Since the Queen Mother gave me the marriage, I have said that I have never met Miss Najiang and never knew each other, and I can't accept such a marriage. Tomorrow I will visit the church to get married, this is child's play, not a good fate. β
Mrs. Jin's face was slightly gloomy: "I have inquired about Miss Jiang, she is gentle and virtuous, her appearance is also upright, and she is quite old, what else do you ask for?" β
Jin Yuan Bao looked at his mother resolutely, and said word by word: "What the child is asking for is a feeling." β
"Feelings?" Mrs. Jin smiled disdainfully, feelings or something, but it was just a dream that she chased when she was a teenager.
"Yes!" Jin Yuan nodded, "Acquaintance, mutual affection." This has nothing to do with age or not. β
Mrs. Jin slowly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Then you don't plan to marry this family?" β
"Children are flesh and blood, crying and laughing, and they don't want to be toys at the mercy of others."
"What do you say?! Toy?! Mrs. Jin slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Presumptuous! This is the Queen Mother's marriage! β
